New Round for Potpourri Contest

I opened the new round for the Potpourri Contest, this round ends September 30. I am excited and looking forward to judging the contest. The entries in the last round were really interesting and the entries so far in this round look intriguing. This round is a story or poem with a combination of genres.

EDU620

August 27, the EDU620 Class starts. I got a e-mail a couple of days a go that my book for that course has been shipped and it should be arriving within the next day or so. I'll be about to access the class schedule on the 25 so I can set up my in the mean time, I've got lots to do.

New Attitude

I seem to have a more positive attitude lately. I still have as many worries as I've always had this past year, but my attitude appears to be changing. I'm less worried and feel more positive about the future. Lately I've gotten up before dawn and went onto the back patio to say dawn prayers. The last couple of days has been a bit chilly for this time of year in Las Vegas.

A Humming Bird and A Praying Mantis

This last couple of weeks I've saw a Humming Bird flying outside my living room window. The little Lady has been flying close to the window, at least until one of the cats get on the inside ledge to see what's outside, then the Humming Bird flies away.

I've also seen a Praying Mantis outside my front door twice this week. This is unusual, in fact this is the first time I've seen a Mantis in Las Vegas and I've lived here over thirty years.
